An African American fashion designer is being denounced as racially insensitive and “fetishizing” Asian women for borrowing from Chinese culture to create a sexy piece of lingerie/bikini, but she’s refusing to back down from her critics.
Fashion student Vanessa Danelle is being accused by social justice warriors of allegedly “fetishizing” Asian women for creating a reversible “Chinoiserie” bikini that could also be used for lingerie, the New York Post reports. The condemnation erupted on Saturday after NYC-based brand Palais Du Dèsir uploaded a video promoting a reversible swimsuit that would be available on the Chinese New Year.
